The modern life of the waste wood emperor

Because Shen Changhua wanted to develop the career of an actor, since Shen Shi agreed to him, he began to enroll in many training courses related to acting, and he was busy like a spinning top these days.

It was hard to find time today to come and see the injured Shen Shi.

When the family felt sorry for Shen Changhua's weight loss, they sat down after mocking Gu Mingze's small belly by the way.

Only Mrs. Shen returned to the small kitchen with the pineapple.

Shen Shi felt distressed seeing Shen Changhua being tossed into this state, but thinking that this was the path Shen Changhua chose himself, he just told him to take good care of his body, other than that, he didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing Shen Shi's attitude, Shen Changhua was completely relieved, so he asked about Shen Shi's situation.

Shen Shi heard this, and said: "Everything is fine, except for one more annoying neighbor."

Being reminded by Shen Shi like this, Shen Youyou immediately called out to accuse Fang Muqing's behavior, and said to Shen Changhua: "Fang Muqing lives next door to our house, and he still sets off fireworks in the middle of the night!"

Shen Changhua was quite surprised when he learned that Fang Muqing moved next door to Shen's house, and said, "What is Fang Muqing's purpose for doing this?"

Shen Shi said indifferently: "I guess it's because they live close to each other, so it's convenient for me to cause trouble."

Gu Mingze on the side heard this, and sighed helplessly, "Why is there someone who looks more like a vagrant than me?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, Shen Shi said: "You do have self-knowledge, you know that you are a vagrant."

Gu Mingze pouted and said, "You tell me every day that I have nothing to do and don't work hard, can I not know myself?"

At this time, Mrs. Shen came out with a plate of what looked like a pineapple, put it in front of everyone, and said, "Come, eat the pineapple. I peeled it myself."

Everyone looked at the yellow flesh on the plate, and felt that the appearance was terrible.

Shen Youyou said: "Grandpa, is this really a pineapple? It's different from what I usually see."

Old Mrs. Shen said: "Don't be picky, do you have special tools for peeling pineapples at home? I use a kitchen knife to gouge out the thorns little by little."

After hearing this, Shen Shi stretched out his hand to pierce a piece of pineapple with a stick next to it, looked at it, and said, "Why don't you just let the clerk peel it?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "I didn't buy this from a fruit shop, but from a roadside vendor."

"Small vendors on the side of the road will also help with it." Shen Shi said.

"I bought a whole box." Mrs. Shen said, "I can't let him peel the whole box."

Shen Shi was puzzled when he heard this, "Why do you have nothing to buy so many pineapples?"

Old Mrs. Shen sat down on the sidelines, stuffed a piece of pineapple into his mouth and said, "I think the old man who sells pineapple is not easy, he can't even straighten his waist, and he is setting up a stall in cold weather, so he just bought a box."

"Then why don't you just finish buying it?" Gu Mingze said, "If you buy a box, he still has some left, so he still has to continue selling it there."

After hearing this, Shen Shi explained: "Bought them all, and the family can't finish them all. Helping others is one thing, but there must be a limit. Moreover, grandpa bought all his food today, and tomorrow he will buy new food. Yes. As long as his basic life is not completely changed, he can only continue to work like this to maintain his own life."

After Shen Shi finished speaking, he looked at Gu Mingze and said, "Mingze, do you know what it's like to be poor?"

Gu Mingze was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Before I ate pancakes and fruit, I had to borrow money from you. Is it considered poor?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said: "It's not that you are poor, it's just that you don't have pocket money. You don't need to work, you can eat enough, wear warm clothes, have no car, and have a house. Although it seems very ordinary, But for many people, your life like this is like a dream."

Gu Mingze was stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it, over there, he is the prince and grandson, even if he is not favored, he has no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Here, he is the young master of the Gu family, even if he is oppressed by his stepmother, he doesn't need to worry about making a living. , and later married Shen Shi. Although Shen Shi restricted the cash in his hands, he provided him with good living conditions.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Gu Mingze lived in the upper class.He doesn't understand at all what is poverty and what is life.

Shen Shi saw that Gu Mingze seemed to understand, and then asked Mrs. Shen where the fruit seller was, knowing that it was just outside the community, so he asked Gu Mingze to push him there.

Gu Mingze didn't know what Shen Shi's purpose was, so he didn't ask any further questions. He took the car keys and prepared to drive, but was stopped by Shen Shi.

Shen Shidao: "Don't drive, just go there like this."

Gu Mingze was a little puzzled, and said, "It's very cold outside."

Shen Shi nodded, "That's it. If you are afraid of the cold, put on more clothes and put down the dragon scales I gave you."

Gu Mingze had no choice but to do so, and put the dragon scale Shen Shi gave him at home. Without the dragon scale, the moment Gu Mingze pushed Shen Shi out, he felt that he had fallen into a hole in the ice, even if he wrapped himself tightly. Yes, the cold wind can still blow all over the body.

Gu Mingze took a breath, and pushed Shen Shi out.

After the two walked a certain distance, Shen Shi asked, "Is it cold?"

Gu Mingze said, "It's cold."

Shen Shi listened, hummed, and then had no further words.

Gu Mingze felt that Shen Shi was a bit strange, because in the previous situation, Shen Shi would definitely not be a simple "um".

After the two walked a certain distance, Gu Mingze and Shen Shi also finally saw the so-called old man selling fruit that Mrs. Shen was talking about.

The old man was very thin, just like the old man Shen said, he couldn't even stand upright, so he just shrunk his neck like that, wearing a somewhat worn-out padded jacket, sitting in the cold wind.

The old man's dark face was full of wrinkles. He was also an old man. Compared with the old man in front of him, the old man in front of him had vicissitudes written all over his face.

Gu Mingze pushed Shen Shi over. When the old man saw the two, he got up and asked them enthusiastically what they wanted to buy.

Gu Mingze looked at the other party, stood there in a daze, feeling a little indescribable in his heart.

Shen Shi was very indifferent, reached out to pick up some apples, and then said to the old man: "This year's business is not easy, right?"

Hearing this, the old man sighed, and said: "The price has risen sharply, and the urban management is also strict, so it's not easy to do." He said, weighed Shen Shi's good apples, and then removed the change, and asked for it. an integer.

Shen Shi nodded and took out his mobile phone.

Seeing this, the old man immediately took out his payment code from the small box next to it, and handed it to Shen Shi.

Shen Shi scanned the QR code to pay, looked at the other party's profile picture on the payment page, and said to the old man, "Is this your grandson?"

After hearing this, the old man smiled happily and said, "Yes, I was only born a few months ago."

Shen Shidao: "Very cute."

When the old man heard Shen Shi boasting his grandson, he smiled happily and opened up the conversation, saying: "Now he looks cute. When he was born, he was wrinkled like a monkey."

Shen Shi listened, smiled softly, then looked back at Gu Mingze, and said, "Go back."

Gu Mingze nodded silently, then pushed Shen Shi away.

After the two walked a certain distance, Shen Shi said, "Do you know why I let you see this?"

"Let me understand what poverty is?"

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "It's hard to see real poverty in such a big city. This old man is not considered poor, it can only be said that his living conditions are poor, but his life is barely enough. I'll let you What you see is the life of ordinary people.”

Gu Mingze asked: "What is your purpose for letting me see these?"

"Are you cold?"

"cold."

Shen Shi nodded, and said leisurely: "At the age of more than 50 years, standing in such a cold wind, just to sell a few apples, 15 yuan, after deducting the cost, I only earn three yuan. Bring the fruits over every day, arrange them, Then move back at night, like this day after day, year after year, and sometimes you have to face the expulsion of the security guards, how do you feel?"

"Life is hard." Gu Mingze said, and because of Shen Shi's words, he felt more pity for the old man.

Shen Shi sighed softly, and said: "There are many such people, you can help one, but you can't help all of them."

Gu Mingze stopped in his tracks, looked at Shen Shi, "Shen Shi, what exactly do you want to tell me?"

Shen Shi looked at Gu Mingze and said, "I'm telling you the basic principles of doing business."

"What basic rules."

"First, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. You can profit from it, but you can't over-exploit and oppress it. Second, if you have enough ability and conditions, you must give back to the society, help some low-level people, and give them a helping hand." .”

After listening to Shen Shi's words, Gu Mingze felt that there was some truth, but he also felt that Shen Shi was a little confused. He said, "Why didn't you teach me how to make money first, but tell me these things first?" After he finished asking, He also said to himself, "Because I have been rich and honored all my life, don't I understand the hard work of ordinary people?"

Shen Shi nodded, as if he agreed with Gu Mingze's statement, and then added: "Besides this, there is another reason."

"what reason?"

"Because I'm a good businessman with kindness and integrity, I hope you are too."

After hearing these words, Gu Mingze felt that there were too many pitfalls, and he didn't know where to complain. In the end, he could only sigh: "As a demon, you have a scary outlook on integrity."

"We are demons, we have to cultivate good karma, so that we can last for a long time."

Gu Mingze listened, nodded, and said: "I will pay attention to it later, and I will definitely be a kind and upright businessman who will repay the society."

Seeing this, Shen Shi nodded in satisfaction, just like a happy old father watching his child grow up.

Afterwards, Gu Mingze pushed Shen Shi back home, but when the two returned, Shen Changhua had already left.

Shen Youyou said that Shen Changhua still had an acting class in the evening, so she left early.

Shen Shi listened and just nodded.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen said: "Shen Changhua quit his job at the Chess Academy. The Chess Academy called home several times to inquire about the situation. And I heard that this year, Shen Changhua was originally planning to let Changhua represent the country. Withdrawing suddenly, it will be difficult for the Chess Academy."

Shen Shi heard this, and said: "Could it be that Shen Changhua is the only chess player, can't we find other chess players to replace him?"

"It's not impossible, it's just that this was a good opportunity for Changhua to become famous, but Changhua suddenly quit. If you give up this opportunity, your reputation in the Go circle will also be damaged, and you will not be able to go back in the future."

"If you can't go back, you can't go back. This is the path he chose. Whether it is good or bad, he will take care of it himself." Shen Shi said in a flat tone, as if he didn't care about this matter.

Old Mrs. Shen saw that he had such an attitude, so he didn't continue talking.

But Shen Youyou said: "Brother Changhua quit suddenly, Huo Qi has been saying that Brother Changhua is in name only, and that he quit suddenly because he was afraid."

Gu Mingze was listening on the sidelines, and felt that it was not good to let it go, so he said to Shen Shi: "This will affect Shen Changhua's reputation, and it will not be a good thing for him to enter the entertainment industry in the future. As an elder, you can't just let it go."

After being told by Gu Mingze, Shen Shi said coldly: "Then let him participate in the competition, and if he wins, those people will shut up."

Afterwards, Shen Youyou conveyed Shen Shi's words to Shen Changhua.

Author's gossip: Shen Shi: Gu Mingze, do you know what it's like to be poor?

Gu Mingze (with confidence): The second generation of the emperor did not know about the second generation of the rich.
